Flukes - Warm Up Sessions lyrics

Yo Never been perfect but hand on my heart I tried But somebody lied Maybe it's TV programmes all they ever show man Life ain't how it's described Every other year since I hit Year 8, somebody died Somebody went and took a different road and a kid went rogue And the grown-ups wish that somebody tried You never know until you have somebody's eyes I look through my own two Walk on my own two Stand on my own two n***as can't say I know you I go through everyday life no complaints, I just say I had a long day Please don't take it the wrong way I'm on a one way, read the science, I need peace of mind I ain't been online I'm not happy with the cards until I got p's on mind Debit, throw it all into the bank Get it, when I ball into Milan I don't wanna be this year's Malcolm X You should already know what I'm out to get The 16th letter of the Alphabet You look the part and make sound effects I was going up 13 steps on a four level flat And I know that sh** ca' I counted 52 and I still didn't [?] and I'm 'bout it Tell man 'low it They never read letters with red letters and then get pressure I hoped to God that it would get better I was out on road even in wet weather Yo, hold up Look I already told them, drop me out of the patter Ain't going clear so I won't go Napa In the left side of my friend's ride, no chitter and chatter I just wanna lib it and stack up Didn't ever see this coming when I was 13 but I'm running so It don't matter Never done the glitter and glamour Just wanna put these lyrics on camera Listen, I'm like the council estates that I lived in I got stories Ran from the top floor straight to the ground floor To the bus stop then I hopped that bus to the Morley's Parents called me but I aired them calls ca' I didn't wanna hear them warn me I was in an ignorant state of mind, behaving poor, home life poorly I was in a middle cla** school but I know for a fact that my parents didn't vote Tory Came all straight and bounce, f** that way man I wanna get pounds Never gave weed any of my attention, I never even gave it a ounce I put my hand in one or two baskets, and then went and got a slam dunk in the count So when I say grinding, I don't mean skates and boards I don't mean weighing some draws Everybody breaks some laws sh** I should have been staying indoors Instead of me playing with fraud But I could have been worse It could have been worse I could have cared about hood status Kept that grime from funky house I should really have a migraine now, good gracious Hood famous, nah I wanna get paid though No questions, nah it's not for the radio I just wanna get to the top like Kano I don't care if that fox got a halo My n***a don't wife that or get sidetracked Cause they send a hundred emojis I just send them a hundred emoji Cause they only give a f** when they're lonely, f** 'em They weren't there on my nights in black I hope that song has a writing pact Fans want grime so I'm writing this rap but regardless I'm gonna put my life in tracks I'm writing, so I'm not writing back Girl take time for you writing cats If it's h-a-r-d then it's from H-a-r-dy You're gonna have to vibe with that Straight from the south of the river, hold up Croydon town for the winners, hold up Still get aroused by the figures, hold up They say it's your time, now don't hold up Straight from the south of the river, hold up Croydon town for the winners, hold up Man get aroused by the figures, hold up They say it's your time, what's the hold up?
